(Red’s POV)

They say that the reason the anemones bloom so brightly is from the blood of the fallen hunter, Adonis. Snowdrops are anemones too, though they are pinkly white instead of bloody red.

I think that they look like flesh, and he laughs at me.

If I died, he says, he would turn me into beautiful flowers too. That’s comforting, and so I don’t protest when he kisses me, because he was pretty as Aphrodite would have been, and I don’t mind playing the hunter – or the hunted – for him.

He taps me on the nose and I smile, because…

Lance will always protect me.

It doesn’t even hurt when he bites me, and I smile, because I know that I will be pretty when I wake up again.
